Part 6, CORPORATE TELEVISION&PRESS: Programming the Robotic American
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MALCOLM X: 
..... If you don't think that they [the Government and the Press]
are in cahoots -- watch!  They are ALL interested, or NONE of them
are interested!  It's not a staggering thing. They're not going to
say anything in advance that's being given by any Black people who
believe in functioning beyond the scope of the ground rules that are
laid down by the liberal element of the power structure. When you
begin thinking for yourself, you frighten them. And they try to
block your getting to the Public for fear that if the Public listens
to you, then the Public won't listen to them anymore.

They've got certain Negroes whom they have to keep pumping up in the
newspapers to make them look like leaders, so that the People will
keep on following them no matter how many knots they get on the head
following him. This is how "the man" does it.  And if you don't wake
up and find out HOW he does it -- I tell you -- they'll be building
gas chambers and gas ovens pretty soon. I don't mean those kinds you
got at home in your kitchen.

Another example, at the international level, of how skillfully they
use this trickery, was in the the Congo. In the Congo, airplanes
were dropping bombs on African villages. African villages don't have
a defense against bombs. And the pilot can't tell who the bomb is
being dropped upon. When a bomb hits the village, EVERYTHING goes.
These pilots -- flying planes filled with bombs, dropping these
bombs on African villages -- were destroying women, were destroying
children, were destroying babies.  You never heard any outcry over
here about that! And it had started way back in June. They would
drop bombs on African villages that would blow that village apart,
and everything in it: man, woman child and baby.  

No outcry!  No sympathy!  No support!  No concern! Because the PRESS
didn't project it in such a way that it would be designed to GET
your sympathy. They know how to put something so that you will
sympathize with it, and they know how to put it so that you'll be
against it. I'm telling you, they are MASTERS at it. And if you
don't develop the analytical ability to read between the lines of
what they're saying -- I'm telling you again -- they'll be building
those gas ovens. And before you wake up, you'll be in one of them,
just like the Jews ended up in gas ovens over there in Germany.

You are in a society that is just as capable of building gas ovens
for Black people as Hitler's society was.

This was mass murder, in the Congo, of women and children. But there
was no outcry, not even from the White liberals -- not even from
your friends.  Why? Because they made it appear that it was a
humanitarian project. They said that the planes were being flown by
American-trained, anti-Castro, Cuban pilots. This is propaganda,
too.  As soon as you hear that they're American-trained, you say:
"Oh, that's alright. That's us." And of the anti-Castro Cubans, you
say: "Oh, that's alright, too, because if they're against Castro,
whoever else they're against, that's good, because Castro is a
monster."

Do you see how, step-by-step, they grab your mind?  

These pilots are hired ... their salaries are paid by the United
States Government. These pilots are called "mercenaries."  
A mercenary is not someone who kills you because he is patriotic. 
He kills you for blood money. He is a hired killer! This is what is
meant by "a mercenary". And they are able to take these HIRED
KILLERS, put them in AMERICAN planes, with AMERICAN bombs, and drop
them on African villages, blowing to bits Black men, Black women,
Black children, Black babies. And you Black people are sitting over
here, cool, like it doesn't even involve you.  You're a FOOL !!

They'll do it to them today.  They'll do it to you tomorrow.
